Netbooks run either Windows or Linux, and both are readily available in shops all over the world. The Linux variants chosen by several netbook manufacturers are usually derived from desktop distributions, and obviously, Windows is a desktop operating system as well. However, netbooks have small displays, and both Windows and GNOME/KDE and some of their applications aren't always suited well for such an environment. Enter Android, Google's Linux-based phone operating system. It is suggested that Android-based netbooks will appear on the market in 2010, maybe even sooner.

Out of curiosity, what makes Outlook so special? Where do Thunderbird and Evolution fall short? How about KMail? I was never a fan out Outlook when I was using Windows, so I'm just not too sure about the differences. To me, an email client is an email client - I can use Thunderbird for emails and RSS, and I don't need anything more (though I've barely scratched the surface of what Thuderbird can do).
